Why all the references to Khara? I assume it's arab slang for sh~t and he's scored twice against Egypt. How about some moderation? How do you pronounce his name? I understand we've been calling him 'kay-hill' all these years, but I think he recently said it was called 'car-hill'. Someone evaluate?
Australians generally say "Carl" (with a long 'a'), which is closer to Car-hill, when they pronounce Cahill (as in the Cahill Expressway, a major road in Sydney.) However, he has played mainly in England and the Socceroos commentator in Australia is English too so 'Cay-hill' has just stuck. It'd be hard to get people to change the pronunciation now.

There are the major things that popped out to me. Once they are all addressed, feel free to renominate this article (that doesn't guarantee it will succeed, however).

Why has the link to the Millwall History files been removed? Millwall revealed the fee to the South London Press, they gave it as being £1.5 million. Lion King 09:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
This is pure press whispers. The official website says undisclosed that means officially it is undisclosed. Other sources say £2million. SenorKristobbal 13:08, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
Surely that needs citation...I can't imagine an ex-Liverpool manager just waltzing into the Everton dressing room and asking a player for his shirt. Unless he's just trying to annoy his former employees-- RoyalBlueStuey 09:56, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
If the items in the trivia section are going to be incorporated into the main article text then they should be removed from the trivia section.
Agreed. I have moved the references to his children (and his car!!?) out of the "Early Life" section and back into "trivia". These facts are more suited to that section - they certainly aren't part of his early life. Would quite like to get rid of the car reference altogether (it reads like a plug for the manufacturer) but I guess someone finds it interesting 125.63.139.142 15:04, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Millwall a Complete Record by Richard Lindsey, shows Tim played 215 league games for the Lions. Where does 218 come from? Cheers, Lion King 11:00, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
The info box says 24 caps 12 goals but in the text it says 13 goals from 18 appearances or something like that. How does this work.
Do not fear, i just added the international goals box, hope you like it. I think i got all his goals, and stadiums correct. Thanks, ill keep adding more Goal boxes to more international aussie footballs. check my page to see other aussie footballers that i have edited for goals. Nath1991 ( talk) 04:41, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
I'm confused about the "score" vs "result" headings on the goals table. I'm assuming the "score" is simply the goals in the match, but what then is the "result". Could this be clarified, please? Also, I don't see anything to indicate how many of the goals were scored by Cahill. 87.113.172.100 ( talk) 16:15, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

In this article it alludes to Tim Cahill wanted to respresent Ireland. There is no quotes from the player or either of the national teams governing bodies expressing an interest in Cahill playing for Ireland.
Cahill himself says "My father checked with the Australian FA at the time and was told that taking part would not affect my international ambitions."
Giving more evidence that he wishes to play for Australia and not Ireland.
I don't think the article is enough evidence to suggest Cahill's previous ambition to play for the Irish national team. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.81.18.30 ( talk) 06:23, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
"In this role he scored 2 goals in 3 games, both in 1-0 victories away to Manchester City and Middlesbrough, as well as a late equaliser in the Merseyside Derby"
If he kicked both goals in the 1-0 wins to Man City and Middlesbrough as well as an equaliser against Liverpool is three goals.
In fact I think the importance of this three goals (or two) in particular are worthy of being mentioned —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.110.253 ( talk) 09:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
FIFA.com and the-afc.com have his middle name as Filiga

I believe Cahill about two years ago used to play center midfield for Australia (back when Mark Viduka still played for us.)Center Midfield should be added to his list! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simba1409 ( talk • contribs) 07:16, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Should it be noted in the article that Tim Cahill is the first Australian to be on the box art of a FIFA game? I have no idea if include these sorts of things in articles!
(Also I put a capital 'M' on Attacking Midfielder as it looked weird without it) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simba1409 ( talk • contribs) 12:09, 11 November 2009 (UTC)
I added a playing style!
Would someone like to add to this segment that I wrote, i needs more work.
Simba1409 ( talk) 00:28, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
Oh look that is poorly written I won't make it better I'll delete it! A short playing style is better than nothing seriously! Simba1409 ( talk) 08:44, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm confused about whether Cahill played for the Samoa U-17s or the U-20s when he was 14. I've read a few different articles and they seem to give conflicting information about this. One of the references on his page even suggests that he played twice for the U-20s and not just once. Can anybody clear this up? Christophee ( talk) 00:15, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
"the first official time in their history."
What does this mean? If it is a reference to Millwall reaching the war Time Cup where they lost to Chelsea then it would need to be expanded on. If it is not expanded on it adds nothing to the article as I doubt that everyone who comes to this article knows the history of Millwall. 86.42.17.30 ( talk) 10:42, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
That was annoying.
I was hoping to learn more about Massachusetts Independent Tim Cahill and instead was directed to a sports player's page. That's not Tom Cahill, I thought; no offense. However, readers don't appreciate having to go google Tim Cahill (the politician from Massachusetts) separately from Wiki because, supposedly, he has a Wiki Page. I am sorry for the irreverence, but this kind of error is frustrating to encounter.
Appreciation would be given to someone who might fix it.

The main editor/s of this page must update after Cahill's recent goal against Chile in the 2014 FIFA World Cup NickGibson3900 ( talk) 05:42, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
Since the World Cup Qualifier against Jordan, the section reading "and scoring 45 goals for his country" in the introduction has become incorrect. In other parts of the article, it correctly states that he has scored 47 goals for his country, as does the "List of international goals scored by Tim Cahill" Wikipedia page.
